Detailed Description

The HPL-1 Large Bore Hydraulic Set Retrievable Production Packer is a high-performance isolation toolactivated using tubing pressure, eliminating the need for mechanical manipulation. When pressure is applied against an underneath plugging device, the hydraulic setting mechanism engages, compressing the multiple packing element system to create a secure seal between the tubing and casing. Designed for versatility, the HPL-1 is available in 7” and 9 5/8” large bore options, making it ideal for high-volume production and injection applications. This design allows the packer to be set at any depth, making it particularly effective in low hydrostatic head wells while ensuring well integrity after the tubing is in place, even in large-diameter casing environments.

Once set, the double-grip system secures the packer in position using hydraulic hold-down pistons and a body lock ring, preventing unwanted movement due to pressure fluctuations or tubing expansion. Themechanically locked setting force ensures that reductions in bottom-hole pressure or tubing contraction do not weaken the seal, providing long-term reliability in production, injection, and zonal isolation applications. With the 7” and 9 5/8” options, the HP-1 is well-suited for high-flow rate completions, offering exceptional sealing performance and operational efficiency in larger casing sizes.

To retrieve the packer, operators can apply a straight upward pull, or, if equipped with the optional right-hand rotational release, use torque combined with a shear release mechanism. This flexibility allows for efficient removal in both standard and deviated wells, making the HP-1 packer a versatile, high-capacity solution for a wide range of completion designs, including large-bore well systems requiring robust isolation and retrieval capabilities.
